Onondaga Road February update


Hearts from OR…
Thanks to all who helped share the love for Valentine’s Day yesterday!  Our kids were so cute all dressed in their reds, pinks and purples, and they were so excited to share Valentines and heart-felt messages with one another and with their teachers.  

In case you haven’t heard yet, Onondaga Road School is having our first ever experience this year with Girls on the RunGirls on the Run is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization whose mission is:  
We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.”

We are offering this opportunity to our 4th and 5th grade girls beginning this spring.  Please take a moment to peruse the Girls on the Run website for specific information at:


If you like what you learn from the website, you might even like to consider making a scholarly donation to our fundraising to support our girls!  You can do this by visiting https://www.gotrupstateny.org/fundraiser/OnondagaRdLovesGOTR . Thank you for your support!

Noteworthy safety reminders

As news unfolds across our nation about schools and school safety, it is a sensitive time to remind us that we need to look out for the safety of our children.  It truly does take all of us to keep one another safe.
Please:
 - Note that the main doors will remain locked until 3:10 p.m. for dismissal.  We will not have people congregating in the main hallways or the cafeteria at the end of the day.  If you are picking your child up, the doors will open at 3:10 for you to come in and sign him/her out from the cafeteria.  Students will be dismissed to you at 3:15.
- If you are changing your child’s dismissal procedure, you must send a note or call the school prior to day’s end.
- You must use only the main door to enter and exit the building.  Please do not walk down the hallways during dismissal.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding from home.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the grade 3 chorus concert which was scheduled for March 20th must be changed.  The new date for our grade 3 chorus concert is Wednesday, April 18 at 7:00 p.m. right here in the Onondaga Road School gym.
